Global Mindedness in International Social Work Practice

Contending that 'international' social work is too often used as a bolt on subject which considers 'others' outside the 'national' framework, this book encourages readers to instead embrace the concept of 'globally minded social work practice’ which pays closer attention to globalisation and broader issues of social justice, mirroring the kind of changing professional context social workers practice in today.

Drawing on a Local-Global-Local framework which promotes critical reflection and dialogue across diverse contexts of practice, this book outlines why global mindedness is a priority for the future of social work practice before considering how it is defined and applied in practice using examples from working with children, young people, adults and communities across different countries.
